Question

I received a positive opk in the morning but couldn't have sex until the evening. Too late?

Share

I recieved a positive opk in the morning around 6:30am and I couldn't BD until the evening around 530pm. Ive read online that you should BD right away bc you could ovulate as early as 12 hours after the surge and you would need time for the sperm to develop so its ready when you do indeed ovulate. I'm not sure if I missed the boat by not BDing earlier especially bc we haven't had sex for over 5 days before our first time after the surge so there's no sperm inside of me as is. Should I be worried that I missed the boat?

O is 24-36 hrs after the surge. For me this month i had surge at 10 am on 26 and o at 12 pm on 27. ( thats accurate cause i am going to fertility center to monitor this things). You still have enough time.
